Hopeful

Definition

• It is a Sehgal Third Degree Rubric.
• Remedies from Barthel's Synthetic Repertory: Acon, Aur, Calc, Ferr-ma, Hydr, Nat.m, Sang, Seneg, Sul, Tub, Verat.
• Hopeful means:
  • Expecting to get what one wishes or to achieve something.
  • A quality which excites hope, promising good or success.
• Where shall we use this rubric?

1. When there is not logical reason for hope, i.e in end-stage disease
2. Someone who says: "Since the beginning of my disease, I have hope to get better"

• Note
  1. Take this rubric Only when he is sick.
  2. Do NOT that take this rubric If he becomes hopeless sinuously.
  3. The patient tells you, maybe there would be a way left for my treatment

Faith = Religious

The probable factors responsible in creating hope in a patient could be his faith, trust or belief on which he relies or counts on.

• Faith can be on GOD, an individual person or any particular medicine or a thing. In faith a patient comes with an assurance that, he will get better by the medicine but, he has no logic behind it.
• A patient comes and says, "I can rely upon you doctor". "I know whatever you do will be for my benefit."

Religious belief: Hopeful + Praying

Why do you so hopeful??

• As I think one should keep faith in Doctor or treatment
• As I faith on you

Logic= Objective reasonable

• He has no choice but to keep faith in the doctor. Remedy: Nat-m
• You are a Famous / Experienced doctor, also I have come to know that, you work very sincerely for a patient.
• I have faith in GOD; he won't do any harm to me even if there is no relief in my condition.
• I have a faith in homeopathy because it had helped me in the past, and also it doesn't have any side effects.
• I cannot tell you right now the reason. I should see the effects to tell you my Forecast
• Doubtful of recovery: Acon, Aur, Calc, Sul: He is NOT sure but still not discouraged completely

Trust = Hopeful + High spirited

• Remedies are: Hydr, Verat

• It is like a strong bond between the two persons. In trust one is more confident, swears and convinced. He is convinced by his friend
• One has logic behind it due to especial relation or deeds. How come a patient gets trust?
• My friend convinced me so I am sure about the cure
• Trust is only done to some special friend

Belief

Belief is associated with a feeling of reverence or religiousness towards a doctor, treatment or medicine. In belief, there is a freedom from doubt with mental acceptance towards a thing as true. A belief could be total dedication towards a particular person or GOD. It's more of a blind nature.

This is the matter of religion. Belief is always strong Superstitious (due to my previous Fault/ Chance It is 100% belief He has no doubt. He believes that God has made a way for cure me	Religious belief + Praying Aur, Sul, Verat Superstitious Ign, Lach, Stram, Op, Rhus-t Hopeful + Superstitious + Objective resealable: Lach Del, he has committed a sin Aur, Sul
	Verat: God told me to be hopeful, or to do that. Only I can hear.`

Why Hopeful

1. Previous history of few/many treatment
2. No history of any treatment but, just on the recommendation of his family or close friends.
3. Seeing /hearing the effect of medicine / treatment in others.
4. It can be that a patient has a problem for which he does not think visiting a doctor because, in his mind he is full of hope that his problem will get better on its own and he needs no treatment.
5. As there is a previous history in which he had some problem in life and it got sorted out on its own or by taking some home medication or rest etc.
6. He has visited to some doctor (s) but did not get any relief still he is full of hope that he will get better. Why he keeps hope in spite of no relief? Because patient's mind remains full of hope due to which he feels assure that somehow his disease will get cured and it pushes or boost him to keep making efforts. He says, "I have a faith that someday (not definitely) I will come out of this trouble with the help of medicine or efforts of the doctors."
7. "I trust that sooner or later things will change."
8. "I have a firm belief on GOD that, "I am not going to remain sick for whole of my life." When asked, why do you have such a firm belief that, you will get better in spite of no result? He says, "Presently, the luck is not in my favor or, my previous bad sin for which I have to suffer in this life. But I have a hope that one day it will be over."

1. In case someone tells him that there is no way he will get better then also he does not change his thinking and keep continuing treatment sticking to his own belief.
2. Sometimes patient becomes hopeful when he sees others getting or got better or he gets assurance from his near or dear one.
